Minnesota is noted for its extensive
stone quarries. Some of the finest build
ing stone in the country can be had
from the quarries adjacent to this city.
1t is quite an interesting sight to see
now the mammoth stones are handled
by the workmen. OF course accidents
are numerous, sometimes fatal, but the
large majority are only slight. The
greater number of them are in all prob
ability caused by disobedience in not
needing the instructions of the foreman.
CarelessnesS and inattention, however,
is practiced to greater or less extent
in every walk of life. For instance, we
take slight cold. Oh. WE'LL we say, it
will be well i'll day or two, and no more
attention is paid to it; in fact, we forget
it. After while we take another.
which is little more severe, and we
take home treatment. We finally be-
come aware that something is not right.
So it was with the subject of this ar
ticle. Mr.. Patrick Dreamer. residing at
1872 GOodhue street, st. Paul, and has
been employed in one of the auarries
for fifteen months. He relates
his experience during that time,
Il took severe cold,' said he, ''over a
year ago, and then it was my trouble

became sore and infiamed and it was with
difficulty that could swallow. After a

tongue was coated. My sleep was rest

any good, for always felt more tired in

at once. My head became clear and
